REPARAȚII LOCOMOTIVE

din 1968

During 1949-1960, Electroputere VFU has produced locomotives used in mining operations and trams, turning to the production of diesel Electric locomotives in 1960. After 1989, the activity of the factory was focused on the modernisation and capital repairs of LDE 2100 HP and 5100 kW type locomotives. After conducting a consolidated investment program and through its work with prestigious clients in Switzerland, Sweden, France, Germany and Italy, Electroputere VFU has become renowned in over 10 countries on 2 continents. This achievement was possible only with the support of a specialized workforce which has the knowledge and necessary skills to develop innovative, sustainable, green products.

Electroputere VFU means 6000 designed, newly constructed, repaired or modernized locomotives, metros translated in over 20 types of different projects, constantly innovating and bringing added value to the industrial base of Romania.Nowadays, being a member of Grampet Group, Reloc SA- Electroputere VFU wants to regain its former prestige, building its strategy around the experience of its employees and the quality, capability, endurance and performance of its products, creating thus a strong and competitive name on the railway market. Electroputere VFU Craiova and Reloc aim to become a global supplier of traction rolling stock and to consolidate its market position on the segment of newly built railway vehicles.

The Terra Nova project began from the need to build a

locomotive which could perform heavy shunting and light

rail service adjusting its tractive power in order to save

resources according to the operation it has to perform. It is

an innovative and robust product that restores the glory of

the industrial area of Electroputere, which in the past built

locomotives renowned for their capabilities and

performances. The locomotive was entirely designed and

built in the Electroputere VFU-Reloc factory.

Every market has its own specifics. We have built Terra Nova to be flexible,

dynamic and easily adaptable to the operations the client wants to perform in

order to conduct efficient transports and save resources. It is a one of a kind

product in its class type, being superior to other similar products in terms of

technical equipment, performance and control systems. It has numerous

competitive advantages, challenging the existing shunting locomotives

manufactured globally.

USABenefiting from Caterpillar`s experience,

capabilities and tradition, the entrance

barriers on this market are relatively low, Terra

Nova surely being a product which will be

appreciated by the customers, because it is

built taking into account the market specifics.

Germany & Austria Terra Nova meets the highest German

standards in terms of quality, environmental

protection and safety circulation.

AsiaBecause it can be produced for different types of

gauges, Terra Nova will be the ideal product to

ensure the railway traffic and shunting of goods in

this area. Having in mind also the high

performances of its engines, we expect it to be a

powerful competitor for the existing similar

AfricaHaving well established contacts and

experience on this market, Terra Nova can be

easily adapted to operate on this market,

expecting to have a long term success and

to contribute to the development of this area.

CATERPILLAR C18 ENGINE 700HP

In the current context, there is a high quantity of goods transported and a limited

number of railway vehicles to execute the carriage. Benefiting from this

opportunity, RELOC SA- ELECTROPUTERE VFU CRAIOVA has built this

locomotive from scratch, managing to integrate the most complex and

advanced technologies in order to ensure a reduced level of fuel consumption,

high autonomy, reduced C02 emissions, reduced driving noise, but also the

possibility to be adapted to different working environments in order to respond

to the most diverse and complex demands of its customers.

High flexibility Efficient consumption of fuel and oil Individual or dual traction

Technical data:

Environmental friendly product - low carbon emissions in line with European Standards

Adaptable production Innovative operating systems

This locomotive is different from those of the

same class through its enhanced flexibility.

Having two engines, it can easily adapt its

traction force depending on the number of

handled tones, the distance travelled, but at the

same time having an efficient consumption and

low CO2 emissions. Moreover, its manufacturing

can be easily adapted to all types of gauges to

be able to service a multitude of markets.

Using the latest technology from Caterpillar for

the motorization and electronic control of the

consumption of fuel and oil, the level of

resources used is thus kept at a minimum being

adapted to the activities conducted, but in the

same time delivering high traction

performances.

Terra Nova has integral traction on 4 axles

regardless if only one engine or both are

functioning and delivering traction power in

accordance with the operation executed:

shunting or light line services. It is capable of

selecting the operation of only one or both

engines according to the need of the tractive

effort which is to be provided.

The Terra Nova engine incorporates green

sustainable technologies which deliver low and

efficient consumption of resources, the filters

and technologies used enabling a reduced level

of pollution in line with European Standards for

Environmental Protection.

The production line for this locomotive can be

configured according to the customer`s needs.

In this respect, Terra Nova is a dynamic and

versatile product which will be available in

different versions.. On the basis of the quality,

circulation safety and environmental protection

imposed by this industrial market, Terra Nova will

be manufactured under different levels of

performance, gauge, price versions and

electronic equipment.

Innovation is the word which characterizes the

Terra Nova locomotive best. It is fitted with a

start-stop system which ensures an even more

efficient use of resources, electronic systems for

monitoring and control, accessory operating

system, centralized informatics systems for

commanding and diagnosis.

Having two Caterpillar engines, Terra Nova is not only powerful, but also versatile and flexible, dynamic and easy adaptable to the most demanding operating conditions, the power being supplied by two engines of 630 HP totaling 1260 HP traction force which can be applied in individual or dual mode depending on the specific transport conditions.

This project was developed in partnership with Caterpillar, the largest manufacturer of diesel type engines in the US, having a long-standing tradition in this field. Born out of the desire to create an innovative product with a high added value, Caterpillar was the only supplier which could provide the needed solutions. The signing of this agreement gave us not only strength and confidence, but also pride and enthusiasm to work with an important global player. We have an agreement which involves mutual benefits and the possibility to adapt the production according to the specifics of the targeted markets. In the first stage, our target will be the manufac-turing of 3 locomotives/month and setting up an automated construction line.

Built to ensure a high and efficient torque/traction power/fuel consumption ratio Sustainability, durability and endurance in exploitation conditions at maximum loading due to high-strength castings and forgings of the manufactured parts, being capable of functioning on long intervals at maximum loading conditions.

Environmental friendly product – reduced carbon emissions to meet all the demands regarding pollution and protection of the environment, has all the circulation authorizations.

Simple and efficient turbo-charger technology and an advanced injection, cooling, power-take off system, after-treatment and control system, start & stop system, accessory drive system.

Reduced maintenance costs.

Constructive parameters ensuring a safe functionality with a reduced volume of vibrations and increased autonomy.
